f. Conclusion peroratio
Conclusion is used to sum up claims and reinforce them with emotional appeals. The example of conclusion presented in Emma
Watson’s HeForShe are as follows.
I decided that I was a feminist. And this seemed uncomplicated to me.
SP102.18-02.24
After witnessing the unequal treatments given to her and her friends, she finally decided that she wanted to become a feminist. This was the
conclusion of what she finally took after having the bad experiences in her life. She added her feeling about her decision to let the audience
know that deciding to be a feminist is not something hard to do. This emotion was needed to touch the heart of the listeners, so that they would
not only remember the content of the speech but they also were persuaded to follow
the speaker’s direction which was to be a feminist.
These influencers were the gender equality ambassadors that made who I am today.
SP104.23-04.31 The statement above showed that there was a link between the
people in her surrounding to influence her to become a feminist with the reason why she became a feminist. She
was also trapped by the society’s prejudices regarding the gender, but she was lucky that there were still
many people who helped her to be free from the prejudices. In
conclusion, these people were the ones who shaped Emma’s ideology
about feminism. This feminism will help female as well as male to have the equal rights to be a complete version of human they want to pursue.
How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?
SP105.24-05.35
Before delivering the statement above, Emma gave the analysis about why the very outstanding speech given by the most famous
woman in that time, Mrs Clinton, could not affect change in the targeted people which were the people of Republic of China. She concluded that
the speech failed because half of the audience were men. As Emma had explained before, men are the main actor who can help to change the
values that have been rooted in the society. Therefore, from the precedent
which is Mrs Clinton’s speech, Emma could conclude that the success of a feminism campaign can be seen
from the number of male audiences who attend it. This is very important for the audience because if they believe in gender equality, they will
encourage men to watch the speech and to be a feminist.
